Important Thruster User Considerations and Precautions
EN
IMPORTANT
Failure to follow the Considerations and precautions can cause serious injury / damage and will render all warranty given by Sleipner
Motor AS VOID.
Never use thrusters when close to objects/ persons or pets in the water. The thruster will draw objects into the tunnel and
the rotating propellers. This will cause serious injuries and damage the thruster.
• Always turn the control device/panel off when the thruster is not in use or when leaving the boat.
• When leaving the boat always turn off the main power switch for the thruster.
• Never use thrusters out of water.
• If the thruster stops giving thrust while running, there is possibly a problem in the drive system. You must immediately stop running the thruster and
turn it off . Running the thruster for more than a few seconds without resistance from the propeller can cause serious damage to the thruster.
• If the performance of the thruster is reduced check the hydraulic system or check the tunnel for marine growth.
• If two panels are operated with confl icting directions at the same time the thruster will not run. If both are operated in the same direction, the thruster
will run in this direction.
• If you notice any faults with the thruster switch it off to avoid further damage.
• It is the owner/ captain/ other responsible parties full responsibility to assess the risk of any unexpected incidents on the vessel. If the thruster stops
giving thrust for some reason while manoeuvring you must have considered a plan on how to avoid damage to persons or other objects.
• The primary purpose of the thruster is to manoeuvre/ dock the vessel. Expect reduced performance at higher speeds.
